NEW VIDEO - We've had a hint at what the title of the 2026 #DoctorWho Christmas special could be.... and I think it adds some weight to my theory that the 15th Doctor may be coming back.

If we don't hit our goal (which is looking increasingly likely), we cannot make season two.
Even if you can't donate, a share or review goes so far. This is a project Fio and I are so proud of, and we really want to see it through to the end.
Season one is already available for free online!

There's an AWS outage this morning impacting lots of services; it started around 07.30 UK time. People who use services like Alexa as their alarm clocks have just had a helpful reminder that using a device reliant on connectivity to carry out a task that doesn't need connectivity is not a good idea.

Generative Ai has ruined amusing animal videos on the internet.
5 years ago you could be fairly sure they were real. Now you just have to assume they are fake and that just makes them not funny anymore.

Absolutely down. I don’t earn much from Ad revenue. Pocket money really, but have noticed that recent videos have earnt half the revenue that similar amount of views earnt 2 years ago.
Are views, ads served and resulting revenue down for a lot of YouTubers? Yes. Enough people have come out and shown us their numbers.
Is it due to Restrictive Mode? I don't think so. It's been around since 2010. I can find no evidence of it defaulting to 'on' for viewers.
So, what is happening? 🧵
